Misestimation of temperature when applying Maxwellian distributions to space plasmas described by kappa distributions

Georgios Nicolaou, George Livadiotis

This paper presents the misestimation of temperature when observations from a kappa distributed plasma are analyzed as a Maxwellian. One common method to calculate the space plasma…
